True. If you speak of a right-wing party, you are typically speaking of a group which holds hawkish or militarily aggressive views. Left-wing parties tend to hold more dovish views.
The definition of hawkish is this: it is an aggressive stance. Just as a hawk is aggressive in hunting its prey, being hawkish relates to the aggressive stance taken with regard to the topic. For example, if there is a threat of high inflation, to describe the reserve bank of a country being hawkish in any official statement may mean they are leaning towards a stronger action such as favouring an increase in interest rates to dampen high inflation. The antonym (opposite) to hawkish is dovish, so it is a non-aggressive, cautious stance.
An aggressive tone. For example, if the Fed Reserve uses hawkish language to describe the threat of inflation, one could reasonably expect stronger actions from the Fed Reserve.
This might refer to the categories of "hawks" and "doves". A hawk is a person who is more likely to want to go to war. So "hawkish elements" refers to those people or ideas which advocate military action.
Hashish, hottish, hawkish, hogwash or hellish.
The word belligerent can have the synonyms hostile, angry, or aggressive. Others are ornery, quarrelsome, pugnacious, cantankerous, contentious, or bellicose. Referring to factions or countries, synonyms might be warring, warlike, militant, warmongering, hawkish, jingoistic, or martial. *The noun form does not imply aggression, only that two sides are fighting. So a belligerent would not be the same as an aggressor. Noun synonyms might be antagonist or combatant.
In a metaphorical sense, "doves" typically represent those who advocate for peace and diplomacy, often opposing military action and conflict. Their "enemies" can include hawkish individuals or groups that favor aggressive military strategies and interventions. In specific contexts, such as international relations, doves may also oppose extremist organizations or regimes that threaten peace and stability. Overall, doves seek to counteract forces that promote violence and war.
In the context of the Cold War, a prominent "hawk" was U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who advocated for a strong military response to perceived threats from the Soviet Union. Hawks generally supported aggressive policies and military preparedness to counter communism, often favoring interventionist strategies. This contrasted with "doves," who preferred diplomacy and negotiation. McNamara's role in escalating U.S. involvement in Vietnam exemplified the hawkish stance during this period.
First, Tim Russert is deceased; he died suddenly in 2008, and obviously has not been hosting Meet the Press in a while; the current host is David Gregory. Mr. Russert, by most accounts, was a conservative Democrat, who tended to lean right on issues related to the military. I don't know what you mean by "Niagara Hawkish," but I do know that Meet the Press had many viewers, and Mr. Russert was widely respected.

By today"s standards- Hawkish. Blind patriotism was the prevalent attitude fostered by Jingoistic writers such as Kipling. Nobody saw anything wrong in either ( battleship diplomacy) or colonialism- as tampering with native cultures. they had a lot to learn.. so to speak.
